St. Paul continued its surprising postseason run Wednesday by beating Dufur 42-33 in the quarterfinals of the OSAA Class 1A girls basketball tournament at Baker High School in Baker City.

Senior wing Sara Pierson scored 15 points and junior guard Remy Brentano added 12 points for the Buckaroos (19-11), who finished the regular season with the No. 16 power ranking.

St. Paul gets a semifinal rematch with top-ranked Condon-Wheeler (28-0) at 1:30 p.m. Friday. The Buckaroos lost to the Knights 43-39 in last year's semifinals and fell to them twice this season, 38-29 on Dec. 14 and 36-29 on Dec. 28.

It will be the third consecutive semifinal appearance for St. Paul, which lost in the 2012 final.

Pierson made two baskets to extend the lead to 38-31, and senior wing Jessica Wilmes hit four free throws down the stretch for the final margin.

It was St. Paul's second win over No. 6 Dufur. The Buckaroos beat the Rangers 45-41 in a nonleague game Feb. 3.
